Sharknado is a social media phenomenon

I didn’t believe it until I saw the trailer. A Syfy network movie about sharks raining down on Southern California via a tornado is still today the top-trending topic on Twitter. According to reports, Sharknado was the subject of 5,000 tweets per minute at the peak of this social media frenzy Thursday night. (Hashtag is #sharknado.)

Watch the trailer below and read this article for more background. The movie stars Tara Reid, 90210’s Ian Ziering and big sharks dropping from the sky. Brilliant.
